Ammon News - The U.S. military has rushed its advanced anti-missile system to Israel and it is now "in place", Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said.

THAAD, or the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, is a critical part of the U.S. military's layered air defense systems and adds to Israel's already formidable anti-missile defenses, according to Reuters.

"The THAAD system is in place," Austin said, speaking to reporters before his arrival in Ukraine on Monday.

He declined to say whether it was operational, but added: "We have the ability to put it into operation very quickly and we're on pace with our expectations."
